About Course

Cambridge A Level English Literature builds on AS foundations into further poetry, prose and drama study, examined through Cambridge's comparative, quotation-based question style, under its Literature in English syllabus.

Because Cambridge writes its own exam papers with a distinctive structure, Centaurus Academy's Cambridge A Level English Literature tutors specialise in this exact specification, giving you an online Cambridge A Level English Literature tutor rather than a generic mix of boards, with Cambridge A Level English literature tuition online built entirely around this specific syllabus.

Lessons combine close reading of set texts with real Cambridge past papers, so students get used to the specific command words and mark scheme style Cambridge uses at full A Level.

Many of our Cambridge A Level English Literature students are working towards competitive Humanities applications, so our tutors focus lessons on genuine analytical depth, not just plot summary.

Because A2 papers demand comparative analysis across multiple texts, our tutors help students build detailed knowledge of their specific set texts and confident comparative writing skills from the very first lesson.

Parents sometimes worry that literature tutoring means simply handing a child more reading. In practice, our sessions focus on teaching students how to argue a point clearly and quote precisely, which is the skill that actually decides the final grade.
